1. I have to be difficult
I shave with an electric straight foil weekdays because I'm pushed for time, and then with a blade on the weekends.

14. Costco is your friend for razor blades
Sure you shell out a lot at one time, but when you get 16 or 20 blades for half the price of conventional stores, it's nice!

8. The Breeze cartridges are about the same price.
:( But the shave is closer. It's got three blades whereas the Intuition has two. The Breeze gel cartridge is a little easier to use than the Schick one because it's smaller and allows for better control.

You won't save any money if you use the Breeze, but the shave is a little nicer.

20. Wow. How often do you replace the blades?
After learning the hard way that older blades lead to more free blood giveaways to the sink, I tend to replace them more quickly... :)

9. Whatever the cheapoid Norelco from Target is
I do blade it once in awhile, but I'm usually so late/lazy in the morning that a quick pass with the electric does the trick.

That and my beard is so thin I only have to shave every other day.

17. Cool!
Noting the cost of replacement Mach 3 razors ($37 for 12, or $32 if I go to Sams Club), and I use between 1 and 2 blades per week, I thought I'd give electric another looksee.

I will probably get the Braun 5775... I know razorblades get closer, but I dig the 5-o'clock look...

13. 3 Words: Personna Speed 3.
When Gillette decided to get greedy with the Mach 3 they lost a customer with me. I use the Personna and get just as good a shave at a fraction of the price.

16. Straight foil electric
Although I have often wondered if a rotary foil electric would make any difference when shaving my legs.

19. from what I've been reading, people who had used rotary went to foil and preferred it...
Of course, they're talkin' their faces, but I'm beginning to appreciate the shaving of the body. :evilgrin:
